The Blues started with a 1-0 win over PAOK away from home before beating Vidi also 1-0. They followed it up with two wins over BATE in back-to-back fixtures. A win and a draw against PAOK and Vidi ensured qualification to the Round of 32 and group winners' spot was achieved as well.

The likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Olivier Giroud have all been impressive for the team in their march to the Round of 32.
